Chinese President Xi Jinping has spotlighted global collaboration to tackle poverty and climate challenges, sending a congratulatory letter to the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Forum on Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development. The move signals China's commitment to multilateral solutions for pressing global issues.
🌍 "Poverty alleviation and sustainable development are inseparable twins in building a shared future," Xi emphasized, framing the SCO's work as vital for achieving the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The forum – uniting members from Eurasia to South Asia – aims to share innovative strategies, from renewable energy projects to digital farming initiatives.
Analysts say this aligns with China's own success in lifting 800 million people out of poverty since 1978. Now, the focus shifts to green tech partnerships: think solar-powered irrigation systems and AI-driven crop monitoring. 💡 With youth unemployment rising globally, the forum also plans skill-building programs targeting under-30s in member states.
As climate protests dominate headlines worldwide, Xi's message positions the SCO as a key player in balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship. Will this become the blueprint for Gen Z's sustainable future? Stay tuned.
